Hi, It seems like forever since I've had time to sit down and work on a new fun activity for my students. AND have time to share it with other teachers online.
In class we have been working on learning a host of sight words. We have been working on reading and writing our words in sentences. Sometimes my kiddos have a hard time making up sentences so I wanted to create something to help them out a bit. My ROLL, WRITE, READ, DRAW packet is designed to provide practice, variety and fun.
To prepare for your kiddos...Choose the sheet(s) for students to work with.
Provide materials for writing and drawing and a dice (1-6)

Each
sheet has a focus sight word. Many sheets build upon various sight words, so be
sure you expose students to the words to ensure success. Oh and yes, they are Common Core aligned. (CCSS are printed on each page)

Directions: Students roll the dice, match the
number on the dice with a word in the word bank at the top of the page. The
student fills in the blank in the sentence with the word from the word bank.
Then the student draws a picture to match the completed sentence.

This is a GREAT activity for your independent literacy/word work centers. Students can work side by side on the same sheet and create their own sentences and illustrations. You can also differentiate by assigning the more complex sentences to your stronger readers and writers.

Welcome to my blog. The Teachers' Lounge is a place for sharing ideas, experiences and advice. The same is true for this blog. For many years I have worked with teachers across the country to share ideas and methods for teaching Math and the use of Technology to young children. I have also taught workshops and graduate level courses on using technology in the classroom. Economic times have caused school districts to cut back on Professional Development. The need is still there and I hope to use this blog as a means to bring a little PD to teachers. I don’t have all the answers, but am always willing to help find ways to help. I love learning from others as well. So grab a cup of coffee, and come on in The Teachers' Lounge!
